Sunday and we are off to see our friend Helen at her home just outside Biggar in the Scottish Borders. Before we go we have to refresh the chickens water, feed the cats, dog wild birds and ourselves and then its off we go. Its not a terribly picturesque drive across the west side via th A70 but once you cross the M74 its improves and after only 1hr 15mins we are there. After lunch its a nice long walk with the dogs, we have Tilly the lurcher and Helen has Molly a greedy lab and Bailey a soft old Collie. We are walking along the side of the river Tweed on the Tweed Way, and as usaul Molly managed to find something to eat. This time it was in the form of a dead pheasant and a salmon head yum yum. After little persuasion we decided to stay the night with Helen and so made for a lovely pub called 'The Mill at Coulter' where the girls managed to tan a bottle of wine between them and then some. We returned to Helen's and the dogs and to our surprise, no destruction, that was a relief. Next day another walk and hot chocolate and then we left Helen and headed back over to Ayr. We heard from Helen later that day that Molly had managed to get at the leftover pain chocolats and gobbled it down necessitating a trip to the vets (chocolate is highly poisonous to dogs) . One injection later and apparently the pain chocolat came out in one piece. Disaster averted....again!
